Twoducks Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) It's the line bisecting the visor I believe. I see they also skipped the grey colored nipple guards from the proto and the line art. Now they’re the same color as the fuselage, like in the 21. Edited July 4, 2009 by Twoducks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.chogokin Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Does the VF-22S come with heat shields for the cockpit canopy? I see none on the toy itself but looking at the lineart, they seem to be in grey like the canopy frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) Got mine in from Over-Drive. It's pretty nice. There were a few QC issues, but nothing broken (a blemish, scratched paint, a small dent on the chin of the face, a chip in the plastic caused by the locking tab near the top mid section of the plane where the body and fuselage split in half). I noticed the visor on the VF-22's face was not glued in or secured. My table rocks a little and to see the reflection in the visor moving kind of bugged me out. I agree with everyone else about how Yamato should have included some sort of canopy cover for battroid mode (I guess I could make one since I'm still working on the conversion project). When the visor (in battroid mode) is angled like the official Yamato pics it seems to be the same thickness. I just wished Yamato made the visor a tiny bit thinner to give it more of a sleeker look rather than a bug eyed look. I don't recall the visor being so recessed into the rest of the face, but I guess it was necessary to give it a perfect transformation. There is a double lip in the middle of the visor originating on one side and ending at the other. Great valkyrie/variant/remake IMO.

Graham Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Got mine yesterday and love it. I've always prefered the look of the VF-22 over the YF-21 & Gamlin is my all time favorite character. Toy seems a bit tighter than the YF-21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) Is it even possible for the backpack sliders to be tighter than they already were on the YF-21?! Edited July 7, 2009 by Mog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossJunkie Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I still slightly prefer the closed, less bulbous canopy and more alien looking faceplate of the 21, but I'm really liking the color for the -22. Anyone got a pic of the sticker sheet? Also, is the sticker sheet more like the old style still like the 21's or the newer thin type. Awaiting for mine to arrive. Still won't be for a couple more days at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Np. Hmm... wow, I never even thought of that. Most likely could be that or they included them just in case people wanted to do customs. XD ***EDIT*** Alright... Max and Milia's names are definitely on the sheet 31, 32, 33 are Gamlin's, Max's and Milia's names (respectively). In that order. Save up your MONEY! I'm buying doubles of each! ***2X EDIT*** Plus they misspelled New Edwards as New Edwars... again. -=X Edited July 7, 2009 by PsYcHoDyNaMiX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. It's not the real thing to me unless it's Omega 1 with the ominously opaque canopy and the BDI. I'm a Mac Plus guy, not a Mac 7 guy. But the paint scheme is sweet.

PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) I feel so stupid. Thanks again for the good news! Sorry. My intention wasn't to make you feel stupid. On another note... I was staring at the faceplate for a bit and I think I figured out why the visor on my VF-22 Gamlin isn't glued in or secured. I believe Yamato produced the valk with such a looseness (jiggle) to compensate for a perfect transformation. When angled forward the visor leans out and when angled back it recesses back in. It's barely noticeable. I guess this was done so this way when the faceplate is folded back under the fuselage the visor doesn't clash with the antenna's locking tab/base. Yet to contradict myself... however if this were the actual case they should have made this feature a bit more prominent with a locking tab or something and have the visor protrude out just a bit more.
